[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This computer was better than expected at this price point. I am shocked at how well this computer is put together and the graphics on it are awesome. It's a little heavier than I thought it would be but it's worth it. I also wish the computer came with a smaller battery pack.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing to complain about laptop but the issue of Intel 13 and 14 gen chips is making me nervous

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Legion and I love it! It's our 5th Lenovo laptop overall. We own a small business and I take care of creating all our social media assets so having a robust laptop is very important. But, like most small biz owners, we have to keep within our budgets. This fits both needs perfectly. Plus, it's a pretty sexy-looking laptop (love the color-changing back lighting of the keyboard!).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pleased as punch. This Legion 5i is a very well-performing product that delivers great value for the price. Despite this model not having the top of the line GPU, it still plays titles incredibly well. Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk; all are served great visuals and great framerates on the very sharp, vibrant lcd screen at high settings. No dead pixels, bright colors, and only the slightest, barely noticeable backlight bleed make for a beautiful panel. The included nvme drive performs well, good loading times and file copying speeds, and maintains safe temps even when copying a large amount of data.
CPU and GPU Temperatures are warm, but within acceptable limits for the hardware, and the keyboard never gets untouchably hot, even with prolonged sessions. They keyboard itself is amazing for a laptop. Key surfaces have a nice texture, and there is a good amount of travel for typing quickly. The 10-key is a touch small, but it's still quite usable. Sound is as expected, the built-in speaker are decent, but not remarkable. External speakers via usb, bluetooth or the audio jack are, of course, an easy improvement.
Battery life is better than expected for a gaming laptop, but as no gaming laptop can really push itself on battery, it simply means that casual usage such as web browsing, watching videos, etc. can be sustained for longer. Definitely usable on battery in a pinch. Port availability is good, and having the power and hdmi ports on the back is especially convenient. It would be an improvement to have 3x type C USB ports and 2x Type A usb ports, rather than vice-versa as it's currently equipped, but that's a minor inconvenience and only when you're sitting down plugging 5 things into the machine at once. Adding at least one type C to the right side of the laptop would be a good thing to consider for the next hardware revision.
The weight is fine, as heavy as one would expect for a gaming laptop, and the screen lid opens very easily. Fan noise is about average, but fan noise is unavoidable on a gaming laptop with this sort of power. It's not nearly loud enough to overpower even a modest set of headphones or monitors, and is par for the course if you're looking to game on a laptop. In the low-power mode, the fans are barely audible with just web browsing, youtube, discord, etc.
All in all, I couldn't be happier. I've owned several Lenovo products in the past, and the continued quality I've experienced was a major factor in purchasing the Legion 5i. I'm glad to say I was not disappointed, as it's lived up to all my expectations and more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great machine, packed with power, however, it will drain your battery like drinking juice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall experience is great. Just what you'd expect. I had a Lenovo yoga before for almost 6 years until I needed something more powerful for work. So, I thought to stick with the same brand for reliability.
